Geberit HDPE is a robust drainage solution engineered for both commercial and industrial soil, waste, and rainwater applications. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (PE-HD), the system offers high durability and adaptability across various installations, ensuring reliable long-term performance even under challenging conditions.
Application
Geberit HDPE is suitable for:
- Internal and external building drainage
- Chemical waste drainage in laboratories and industrial plants
- Underground and concealed installations
- High-rise buildings using Sovent and SuperTube technology
- Roof drainage systems including siphonic setups
Its chemical and temperature resistance makes it ideal for specialist environments, while its prefabrication capabilities support modern construction techniques.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Durability: UV-resistant and capable of withstanding aggressive media, impacts, and extreme temperatures.
- Flexible and Tough: Offers excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures, and can absorb structural movement without damage.
- Secure Jointing: Electrofusion and butt-welding create leak-tight, root-proof joints without the use of adhesives or rubber seals.
- Fire and Sound Protection: Certified fire-resistant and supports sound insulation, when used with Silent-db20 components.
- BBA Certified: Backed by British Board of Agreement certification, ensuring suitability for UK projects.
- Sustainable Installation: Clean, chemical-free jointing methods with recyclable material contribute to environmentally responsible construction.
